Inventory of Landslides Along Alabama Highways

An inventory of landslides along Alabama highways was created using both inclinometer readings collected by the Alabama Department of Transportation and based on Detailed Damage Inspection Reports (DDIRs) submitted to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for emergency assistance. For the inclinometer-based dataset, we have processed the readings to extract the change in displacement from the previous reading at the top of the slide plane. For the emergency relief landslides, we have extracted key information from the submitted DDIRs. These datasets can be used for landslide susceptibility modeling, testing remote sensing-based monitoring or warning systems, or to better understand landslide patterns in the southeastern United States.
